Community Grant Program

Introduction

We are engaging with the school community to get your input into the plan, get your ideas and thoughts on how we can make it safer for our children to get to and from school.

To get initiatives off the ground we need your support. If we can demonstrate that the school community is behind the plan it will help us lobby for funding and change.

Please fill in the survey and add comments to the map. The more information we get the better our plan will be. You can add to the map as many times as you like.

Include your email in the survey for your chance to win a $100 Woolworths voucher.
